Once Again about St. Petersburg

The Official State Hermitage Museum Hotel took in guests from the UK. The hotel became a place of filming for the next episode of the documentary series Travel Man, also dedicated to St. Petersburg. Travel Man is a project of the leading British Channel 4 UK. The series has been aired for many years visiting many cities all over the world. It’s an entertaining, amusing and unobtrusive show. Without a doubt, a tourist can get some good advice (what to see, where to go, where to stay), but culture sets the tone of the show. In St. Petersburg, the chief keeper of cultural values is the Hermitage — one of the most important museums in the world. Every guest of the Northern Capital considers it his duty to visit the museum and see its unique art collection. However, not everyone knows that you can get to know the museum from the first minutes of your stay in the city.

The interiors of the Official State Hermitage Museum Hotel have a large collection of paintings, bronze sculptures and porcelain, including copies and replicas of objects belonging to the museum collection. The hotel immediately lets the visitor feel that he is in the cultural capital, attunes and inspires him for a meeting with fine art. Travel Man presenter Richard Ayoade found this approach particularly important. As a person who is related to the art (Richard starred in the popular TV series The IT Crowd, directed films Submarine and The Double), he wanted to reflect on screen all the diversity and specificity of urban life. The Official State Hermitage Hotel helped him create special atmosphere, a sense of close participation in visiting the world of grand, imperial St. Petersburg.
